Maldonado senses in his spirit and believes that signs point to Jesus' soon return. While Maldonado does not set a specific date, he does seem to indicate the year, noting that 1,991 years have gone by of the two-thousand-year mark for the end of the Passover feast. He references Hosea 6:2 which speaks of two days. (Loc 728/3039) So be paying attention in 2029. He also says, “I can say with great certainty, based on the Word of God, the Holy Spirit, and the feasts, that we are the generation that will see the return of the Lord.” (Loc 748/3039) Don't forget Hal Lindsey was just as confident in his prediction 50 years ago. And Maldonado writes of the “blood moons,” something I thought was laid to rest with the failed predictions of John Hagee.
Maldonado is an advocate of the pre-trib rapture but believes only a remnant will be taken. This remnant is the uncompromised church, those who embrace the Holy Spirit, the supernatural and all God desires to pour out. (Loc 393/3039) Only a portion of the church will be taken. (Loc 2177/3039) It is not enough to be a Christian, he writes, and not even enough to know how to manifest God's power. If one does not have “a genuine, constant, and intimate relationship with God, we will be left on earth at the rapture.” (Loc 2313/3039)
Maldonado's teaching can be a bit confusing. He says, for example, it is true we are saved by grace and our salvation is eternal, forever, yet we can lose that salvation by the way we live. (Loc 1664/3039) And some of his teaching puzzled me, such as his saying we are to celebrate the feasts. We are not exempt because we are not Jews, he writes. (Loc 335/3039) He says the feasts are for us to understand the spiritual seasons and that they reveal God purposes. (Loc 326/3039) This when the writer of Hebrews says the feasts were just a shadow of the things to come. (Heb. 10:1) Why should we have to celebrate the shadows?
It bothers me when an author kind of makes up material for his case. An example in this book is, “God fashioned the earth during a spiritual feast in which all aspects of creation were made complete and fully mature. (See Genesis 2:1-3.)” (Loc 600/3039) There is nothing in Genesis that indicates this was a “spiritual feast.” Another example is Maldonado saying the Hebrew culture is that the groom had to give nine gifts to his bride, relating that to the fruit of the Spirit. (Loc 2088/3039) I read several articles on Hebrew marriage customs, some particularly relating them to New Testament truths, and never once came across the nine gifts idea.
Maldonado does have a good emphasis on being spiritually diligent and ready for Christ's return. He calls Christians to have an intimate and continuous relationship with the Spirit. He also includes great testimonies to the active work of the Holy Spirit today in various countries. I would encourage you to be a Berean when reading this book, studying the Scriptures.

Over the years there have been numerous books about Jesus coming back soon. I don’t think we will ever know for certain the exact time or day when this will happen. Perhaps there are signs that the time is near, but I have heard this for a long time. The author writes a book that has given me a lot of questions. I will say I disagree on many points he makes in the book.
I found the book to be very confusing and scriptures that were misquoted in order to adapt to his point of view. There are churches that don’t accept certain beliefs the author does. My view on this is that if it is in the Bible, then it is true. If the scripture has been rewritten then it doesn’t line up with the Word of God. I did find one thing very intriguing. I didn’t know that the word “rapture” was never used in the Bible. That astonishing fact set me back a bit. I have always heard about the rapture but never realized that word was never used in scriptures.
Losing your salvation is sonething I have to comment on. The author says, “Another dangerous end-time heresy is “super grace.” This is the belief that “once saved, always saved.” Yes we do sin, but that doesn’t mean that we are no longer saved. If we had to ask to be saved every time we sinned, our entire life would be one big circle of asking to be saved over and over. I know this is a subject that some don’t agree on so I want readers to be very diligent while reading this book. There are many examples in the book which cause me to question the author. As readers, I recommend you read this book and study very closely what the Word says.

There has been a lot of talk especially dealing with the current pandemic about when the end of the world may be. A lot of people feel that we are in the end times. While there have been many that have tried to predict the end of the world - they were wrong. The bible tells us in Mark - Mark 13:3 English Standard Version 32 “But concerning that day or that hour, no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father."
The author does try and back up his prediction with Bible Verses, however they seem to be twisted a bit to fit what he is trying to portray. I am always open to everyone's opinion and how they interpret a verse may be different then mine - but some of them did not sit well with me.
The author also touches on how one can lose their salvation. I did not agree with this reasoning.
That being said - The author has done a lot of research and cites it throughout. I picked up my Bible a lot reading this so that I can compare it against God's word.
Devote extra time to prayer - and remember that God's word is true and never changing.

If you want to learn more about Jesus Christ’s Second Coming, this book offers a thorough treatment of what the Bible teaches. The charismatic author shares lots of Scripture, explaining prophecies of the End Times and the teaching of what believers should be doing in order to be prepared. He tells of earthly signs of the last days and covers the Jewish feasts and their connection to the spiritual timeline they illustrate in history. His presentation is very convincing. He is pre-Tribulation regarding the Rapture. Whether you agree that Christians should be involved in modern-day miracles such as he encourages, you can’t really argue with the biblical passages in the book. He instructs us to draw close to God and make our spiritual lives a priority. The time is short, as is the book—just eight chapters. Warning, there is a brief part about some men who were delivered from homosexuality that shared too much detail, in my opinion. I received a copy from Celebrate Lit. All opinions are my own.

I've read quite a few books on the return of Christ and some I agree with, some I don't. I have to say that I disagreed more with this author than I agreed with him. Some of what he said seemed to contradict himself and other points just were unclear. He seems to have done a great deal of soul searching and strongly believes what he is saying.
I have to state one key point I disagree with the author on is that he believes we can lose our salvation. I do not hold the same belief. I believe in once saved, always saved. I understand that many believe this way, I'm just pointing out that I do not. I would recommend if you are going to read this book, be cautious and have your Bible to read the verses in context to come to your conclusions.
It was a 3/5 for me.

This is a very interesting and educational book. I cannot say that studying the end times is something that I do a lot of. I believe that while we can watch for the signs we will still never know the exact time that the Lord will come and as such, I choose to live my life like he could return any day.
There are several scriptures used within the book that I don’t agree with the interpretation of. I also believe differently about how you can lose your salvation. There are some good points within the book but overall it is not one that I would read again.

This book was packed full of biblical truths and so informative. It was one that should be read slowly, taking time to savor what is being said and meditating on it before moving on to the next concept. It’s so relevant for today and is one of the reasons why I chose to read it: I wanted to hear more information about the end times, the times we’re living in now, and receive more teaching to complement what I’m learning and studying in the Bible. This is an author I wasn’t familiar with but one I will be reading more from. This is also a book I read alongside my husband so we could talk about the various points together which was so helpful and made the journey that much more enjoyable.

I wish I could say I enjoyed this book, but I did not. I found it confusing and conflicting with my views of faith, God’s Word, and Biblical beliefs. I believe this book is one that should be read with caution.
When it comes to Salvation, I know some individuals believe someone can lose their Salvation, the author is one of those people. However, I disagree with that view. I believe that Bible passages need to be taken in context in order to determine meaning and he fails to do so in this book.
I strongly believe words can be manipulated to support a certain view, which I believe occurs in this book. So investigate this book for yourself with discernment and caution. Make sure your have your Bible available to study the passages referenced for yourself.

"Jesus is Coming Soon" by Guillermo Maldonado is an is an intriguing read. I read this book in one setting and I know to really get the full impact it has to be read slowly .I did agree with some things the author said but I am questioning others.
I do agree that we have to be watching and waiting and work till Jesus come back.
I think the book would have made a greater impact on me if it wasn't praising the author's church so much. If the book was to make people understand that Jesus was coming back soon, than why all the praising of all that his church has done.
The author does include lots of scriptures to study.

Jesus Is Coming Soon: Discern the End-Time Signs and Prepare for His Return is an intriguing read. I found it to be full of information that made me reflect and truly think. It is not one that could be easily read in one sitting. It made me want to put it down after each section to really get an idea what the words on each page was telling me.
I am giving Jesus Is Coming Soon: Discern the End-Time Signs and Prepare for His Return four stars. I recommend it for readers who are looking for some information on Biblical facts. I think it would be perfect to use as a group study. I would love to get the thoughts from others while reading this, as well.

Jesus is Coming Soon is a book about the end times and the second coming. Based on scripture, the author describes the events leading up to Jesus’ second coming. “Jesus confirmed He would return; He even expressed this fact in the book of Revelation when He said, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,…who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty”.
